I would highly recommend Mr Attar for dealing with my Kidney stone, with exemplary professionalism. He immediately put me at my ease and explained everything to me in a clear and concise way. He was diligent throughout, even taking into account my travel plans. I am so grateful to him for all his care and consideration, keeping in touch to check on me and keeping me fully informed at all times.
His secretary Lisa, is a delight. Always on the end of the phone with help and encouragement. Exactly what you need during a time of concern.
All in all, I was super impressed with the whole experience.

I would like to highly recommend Dr Attar's services, his care and attention to detail is second to none, he even went as far as to contact me on his day off which really shows the dedication he has to his patients.
He is an expert in his field and as a patient I felt safe and secure under his care.
Mr Attar and his team at the Cromwell Hospital are a credit to their profession.

I highly recommend Dr. Attar, my urologist, without reservation. When I was diagnosed with kidney dilation due to kidney stone obstruction, he showed exceptional care and expertise. Dr. Attar took the time to thoroughly explain the risks, surgery necessity, and potential side effects, ensuring I felt well-informed and at ease. His kindness and genuine concern for my well-being were evident as he consistently checked in on me post surgery.
In a moment of urgency, Dr. Attar's dedication was truly remarkable. He accommodated a prompt consultation over the phone to discuss my situation and advise me on cutting my vacation short to address the issue. His considerate approach extended to his secretary, Lisa, who was not only warm and welcoming but also went above and beyond to assist me in rescheduling appointments.
Following the procedure, Dr. Attar's attentive care persisted as he maintained daily follow-ups to monitor my recovery. He detailed the procedure's progress, alleviating any concerns I had, and offered insights into the healing process and upcoming steps. His professionalism and genuine care created a sense of trust that's rare to find in medical practitioners.
In light of my experience, I have utmost confidence in Dr. Attar's expertise and compassionate approach. If you're seeking a urologist who genuinely cares for your well-being, takes the time to explain every aspect of your situation, and ensures a smooth recovery process, Dr. Attar is the one to see. My journey to recovery was made significantly better because of his exceptional care.

After just one appointment, I am so pleased that that I saw Mr Attar. He tackled my problems by working through them and explaining the issues clearly then making a plan for treatment. I feel I am in very good hands, he has taken responsibility and I know all will now be resolved. Lisa is incredibly organised and lovely to talk to.
